I'd bet Antemasque and Zavalaz and Bosnian Rainbows are gonna come out like right after one another, and I'm guessing the first half of next year, before the second batch of Omar albums starts up again.

According to some random on the TMV2016 facebook page, a volta reunion isn't happening anytime soon. The plan, according to him, is they tour as ATDI and then tour Antemasque's THIRD record(??). He claims that he's tight with the Omar fam and eats lunch with them once a week. I laughed and wrote him off until I decided to lurk his profile to see if I could find any clues. He's a tattoo artist, DJ, and bartender at the 501 Bistro in downtown El Paso. Still leaning towards him making shit up, but you never know. His location checks out at least.

Cedric's twitter said he was "former singer of the mars volta" like a week ago and it said that for quite sometime. I think this is pointing to something happening and hopefully soon!

His instagram said "singing for mars volta" since that rolling stone omar interview. I remember cedric mentioning 2nd and 3rd antemasque albums even before we knew that travis barker is involved. Remember how he said that 2017 and 2018 are ATDI years so i think TMV reunion at least in the second half of 2018

What'll happen is a Volta tour of entirely new songs and Cedric repeating how much more fun they are than repeating lame, old ones; of course no album will ever be released and whether it'll hit Europe or the US, somehow the tour will be cancelled without ever being picked up again.

It's not something I'm really getting hyped for yet because I know it's pretty far off still (plus I'm totally satisfied with these Omar albums right now). But it's just nice to know that they are planning to do it.

Yeah there's a lot of music i'm digging this year and i'm fine with this batch of solo records, and the next batch. Plus i'd rather hear a new At The Drive-In and Antemasque record before i hear TMV. Once all 24 solo records are out and ATDI/AM, i'll be excited for new TMV fo' sho.
